I already have this tent, so I won't be participating. But this is a good deal for a 2 person tent, especially for couples as it only has one door and its a tiny bit tight.
Packed up and the load shared its a great budget/lite option. You'll be spending quite a bit more to have a lighter option to be honest.
Just to give you an idea, on a 4 day trip I was at 12lbs and my wife was at around 9lbs total with food and water. I really don't prescribe to labels between ultralight and lightweight, but I think most people would agree that those two weights were pretty respectable in either category with food and water.
So the tent itself can break down pretty good. I'd skip the foot print, you won't need it and/or you can use a piece of tyvek.

kokkos3 liters per person per day, assuming you are not close to a water supply, to accommodate drinking, cooking, and basic washing. Also somewhat dependent on the ambient temp I think.
